Where in Defuniak Springs these licences are registered

Licences are spread across 2 ZIP codes, with the largest concentrations in 32433 (65), 32435 (45). This is the address on the licence record — an office or, often, a home — and not a service-area map. A certified contractor can legally work anywhere in Florida.

How long Defuniak Springs contractors have been licensed

64 of the 110 active licences registered in Defuniak Springs have been held for a decade or more, while 25 were first issued in the last three years. The median licence here dates from 2014. The longest-held active licence in the city belongs to A-1 Builders Inc, licensed since 1980.

79 of Defuniak Springs's 110 active licences are certified — a "C" prefix, valid anywhere in Florida. 3 are mold licences (MRSR remediators and MRSA assessors), which the state issues under a separate board. 28 are registered — an "R" prefix, which limits the holder to the local jurisdictions that accepted the registration.

Hiring a contractor in Defuniak Springs — FAQ

How many licensed contractors are there in Defuniak Springs?

110 companies and licence holders have a current, active Florida state licence registered to an address in Defuniak Springs — 7% of every active licence in the Destin & Fort Walton Beach area. That figure comes from the official DBPR public records refreshed on 11 Aug 2026, and counts licences, not employees.

Does a Defuniak Springs address mean the contractor only works in Defuniak Springs?

No. DBPR records the address the licence holder registered, which is often an office or a home, not a service area. A certified ("C" prefix) licence is valid anywhere in Florida, so many contractors listed here work across the whole Destin & Fort Walton Beach area — and contractors based in neighbouring cities work in Defuniak Springs. Ask about travel and call-out charges.

What is the difference between the licence types I see on this page?

A "C" prefix means certified: the licence is issued by the state and valid anywhere in Florida. An "R" prefix means registered, which limits the holder to the local jurisdictions that accepted the registration. Mold licences (MRSR for remediators, MRSA for assessors) are issued separately again. Defuniak Springs has 79 certified, 28 registered and 3 mold licences.

Is a longer-held licence better?

It is a signal, not a guarantee. 64 of Defuniak Springs's 110 active licences have been held for ten years or more, and 25 were first issued within the last three. A long licence shows the holder has kept up renewals and stayed in business; it says nothing about the quality of any particular job. Always collect written quotes and proof of insurance.
